Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics. Creating 3d modelled objects or scenary are usually what is intended in this area of it's requirements.
Computer animation is a process that is affiliated with CGI for generating animated images by using computer graphics in a 3D space. Because CGI can be referred to static and moving images, Computer animation is a more accurate term.
Being essentially the digital sucessor to stop-motion animation, 3D models and even traditional frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations.
Tin-Toy was Pixar's first venture into 3D Computer-Animation, it was completed in 1988 and it was never sold to the public.
This was the only Pixar short to be rendered on a RM-1 Computer, overall the animation is impressive for it's time butthere are obvious signs of deteriation in the animation and models, It's movement being very unnnatural and wooden.
But after Tin-Toy, it had attracted attention from Disney when the won an Oscar award in 1989, with a new funding from Disney the newly developing animation studio had the oppurtunity to show the full potential in this new age of animation.
They produced Toy Story, which was a colossal success and launched the new industry straight into business, practically beginning the Computer Animation front for Films.
Now in these present days, CGI and animation is now implemented into real live-action scenes. Being able to interact with actors, environments, effects etc.
You can see that the quality of the animation, models and immersion has been magnified many times over.
CGI and Computer animation is being developed and implemented into many forms of entertainment. Movies, Games, TV Industries and lots of other opportunities will be pushing this line of animation and industry forward.
